as advertised.......2007-11-15
This worked just as advertised. The included software did just what I wanted it to do and is very easy to navigate.
What, secure?! You have to be an administrator!.......2007-03-29
I am giving this unit the lowest possible score for the reasons below. The fact that this is product by Lexar is actually named "Secure" invokes the belief it really is secure. However, I have been discussing this with Lexar for over two weeks now, without resolution.
The problem is that the Encrypted Vault (the reason I purchased the thing) is not available except when signed in as an administrator. Hello??!! Why would Lexar build a unit that is smaller than some earrings my girlfriend wears if they did not expect it to be used as a portable device, meaning it would be used in many different computers? So, if you go to the library, or at work on a network, or at your friend Billy's house, and you are not the administrator, YOU LOSE! The only way around this is to put your most sensitive material right on the public drive, and not use the secure features of the drive. Does that make sense?
I was sent the software version by Lexar with no improvement, and have tried all of their suggestions, and now the unit will display the Microsoft Windows error screen and shut the drive down.
To be fair, if you do not need to access sensitive material on any computer (without admin rights) then this unit could work for you. It works great on my home computer, but I just have to admit that with a PORTABLE device I tend to want to PORT it around and use it on other machines and cannot.
If you need to access your data on many machines, and wish to do so without admin rights, beware! I suggest you look at the Lexar website and contact them to make sure this is possible. I'm still wrestling with them, and am hopeful I can take them to the mat and pin them, and will be able to actually use this storage device as advertised.
Amazing product!.......2007-03-13
This flash drive has served me very well. It's fast, reliable, and survived a trip through the washing machine and dryer with all data and functionality intact. I use it frequently with a Windows XP machine and an OS X machine. Buy this drive! You won't regret it.
Glitch Using ThumbDrive .......2006-05-30
I've had several Lexar Secure II thumb drives. I purchase them because you can encrypt your data. Not many other thumb drive makers provide encryption software in their thumb drive. All of my Lexar drives worked fine initially, for about a month, then eventually a glitch shows up in all of them. This same glitch occurs when inserting the thumb drive in both my desktop and laptop computers, so I guess that the glitch is probably in the thumb drive, not the computers.
The glitch is that I am unable to "Safely Remove the Hardware" when I click on the drive removal icon at the lower right hand corner of the screen. I am force to do an "unsafe" removal by simply pulling the thumb drive out. I believe that this technique may be corrupting some files in my computer to the point that often I get the "blue screen of death" when I shut down. This "blue screen of death" probably occurs because the computer is unable to remove the thumb drive when it is trying to shut down.
I do not have removal problems with thumb drives made by other companies, that does not have the encryption software. My guess is that the glitch in within Lexar's encryption software.
It is obviously difficult to provide trouble free encryption software in thumb drives. If it was simple, then more thumb drive companies would do so.
This glitchs makes the thumb drive not very usable because each time you do an unsafe removal, you run the risk of corrupting more files in your computer and possibly ruining it. Overall, I've wasted my money on these drives and will never buy another Lexar drive again.
Encryption is not for Macs yet, not for Windows domains.......2006-05-25
I bought this because I wanted an encrypted device that I could use to offload personal documents I receive while traveling for work, and then read them using my Mac(s) at home. Lexar JD II is the only product I found advertised to work with both Macs and PCs at the same time.
My primary Mac is an Intel Mac. Early on I realized the encryption utility only runs on PPC Macs. Okay, so I figured I'd use it on the PPC Mac Mini, and everything seeemed fine at first.
Then I hit a problem where my Mac Mini could not read video DVDs. A little search on the Mac support forums, and I found that installing Lexar JD software disables video DVD support on my Mac! Fortunately there were instructions on how to uninstall.
Aside from the problems with the Macs, I also hit the problem another reviewer mentioned, which is that you must be logged in as a LOCAL administrator to use the encryption software under Windows. Since my work PC is a member of a domain, I had to create a local account, log off the work domain and back on as a local user to use encryption anyway. Kingston Data Traveler Elite works fine under Windows domain logins, unfortunately for me they don't have Mac software yet.
So in summary the current Lexar encryption software:
- Can't be used on a Windows domain machine
- Can't be used on an Intel Mac
- Breaks the DVD on a PPC Mac
It's not for me!
However if you are using the Lexar strictly on stand-alone Windows PCs, OR you don't require encryption, it should be okay.

Does what I wanted.......2007-07-09
I wanted a thumb drive that would support no-fuss encrypted partitions, and that's just what I got. Allocate anything from 32MB to the whole stick as a partition, name it, give it a password and a virtual drive letter, and you're done.
I've used it on Windows XP and 2000 Pro without incident.
I deduct one star for some options I'd like to see in the GUI. For example, one can automatically explore the mounted drive when the password is given, or automatically ask, but there's no option to do nothing. There's also no "mount all favorite drives" option as in, for example, TrueCrypt.
Still, for carrying around highly personal information without worrying about what happens if I lose the stick, this is just what I wanted at a fair price.
CAUTION! .......2007-06-21
I have a document, encrypted with this product, and now I cannot decrypt it. I called Lexar, they said they'd email me software to fix the problem. How long with that take, I asked. Thirty minutes, I was told. It's 28 hours and counting now. I sent them an email, too. No response yet. Buy this product if you want to keep yourself from seeing your own documents! Good luck
Follow-up: Lexar emailed a link to new software which remedied the problem, about 36 hours after they said they would. The problem appears to have been the user's (i.e., my) deletion of what appeared to be an empty folder labeled "vaults" that comes on the device.
Great jump drive.......2007-04-12
This drive has never had a problem. It is sheek and stylish. The data encriptor is very helpful
It's a memory stick. What's to review?.......2007-03-29
This memory stick not only holds my information, but helps me get dressed, brush my teeth and feel better about myself. Since I bought it, women are all over me.
Security software does NOT autostart.......2007-03-04
If it doesn't bother to you browsing inside the jumpdrive and starting the security software manually before you can see your secured files, then it's OK. In fact, I think that no secure jumpdrive in the market can do that right now.

Great portable drive.......2007-10-31
The Lexar Jumpdrive is one of the best portable drive I have owned and I never had trouble with it.
The best flash drive I've used........2006-04-25
Pros: It's sturdy. No lie, I just washed and dried mine, without cap, in a campus washer and dryer and it's plugged into my computer and there are no visible or "usability" effects.
The security software is very usable and the encryption software works on files not on the drive.
Cons: To my knowledge, there is no way to auto-load the security software, which can be an annoyance.
If you need a drive with security software, this is a great choice.
256 MB JumpDrive Secure II.......2006-03-15
I use this jump drive every day at school. I have all of my class stuff, the ZSNES Super Nintendo Emulator, Games, and the USB version of the Opera web browser on it and it's only a little over 25% full. I have the cap connected to my keychain, so it makes it harder to forget. It's pretty scuffed up from being ground against and thrown around with my keys all day, but it continues to work fine.

needs to verify its MS compatibility........2007-04-12
Just bought mine at the Urbana Walmart for $17.88. The package said that it is MS compatibly and PnP;but when I plugged it into my emachines T3882 Windows XP Home edition machine the New Hardware Detection Wizard issued
the dire Dantesque warning that it had no MS logo and recommended that I immediately terminate the software download to avoid present or future
problems with Windows XP. I took the option to continue anyway since I already have hundreds of registry errors -which makes my computer slow.
If MS and Lexar have no issues with each others products, they should
issue the appropriate licences to prevent needless warnings.
Works w/Mac but serious design flaw!.......2006-08-03
The included security software works as advertised with both my iBookG4 and iMacG5 (OSX10.4.7). BUT there is a serious design flaw...the little hole in the device, to include a ring to attach it to your keyring, is in the removable cap, not the device itself...so, imagine...at a hotel in Bankok, you insert the flash drive in the hotel computer and put your keys back in your pocket before you login...finish your work and logout, departing the hotel for the airport...forgetting the device in the computer....do you want to trust this security software THAT MUCH? With earlier PNY flash drives the hole is in the device, not the removable cap!
